Recently purchased
as a park, Burgoyne Bay is now one of the most diverse parks on the island for
hiking. Beginning at a parking area near the Government dock it is
possible to hike to the summit of Mt. Maxwell from sea level: hiking this trail
can be somewhat strenuous due to the nature of the terrain and rock...be
careful! For the less adventurous but equally curious, hikes in the
Burgoyne Valley are the most enjoyable. Exploring the old farmstead
buildings is a good way to begin or end the day. Please respect the
environment and stay on the trails!
